Ffolkes,
As I approached the open doors of the inner house, joyful music poured out, filling my ears with gleeful abandon. The noise of many people talking joined with the music to draw me inside, where brilliant lights illuminated a grand ballroom, filled with swirling dancers, dressed in sumptuous gowns and dignified suits. On each face was an expression that strangely held no sign of happiness, in odd counterpoint to the music and motion, creating a sense of tension that permeated the atmosphere, struggling with dark discord to breach the walls of happy noise. As the music grew louder, the tension grew apace, and now the entire mass of moving bodies seemed to be whirling out of control, as if they could no longer knew, or cared, how fast they spun around the floor. Growing cries of distress began to join the strains of music, a chorus out of harmony; some of the stronger couples broke free, rushing out the doors into the night. The music rose into a resounding crescendo, then fell, all at once, into a silence so deep I could hear the beat of my own heart, pounding in my chest as if trying to free itself. Darkness crept into the ballroom, spreading from the corners until all was invisible. I gathered the remnants of my scattered emotions, and walked through the doors, and back into the welcoming night…..
Okay, your guess is as good as mine…..I have no idea where that came from, and upon re-reading it, I can honestly say I’m glad it’s no longer inside my head. It could have caused some damage in there if left much longer……I suppose it would be best to get on with the rest of the day; such an opening salvo could indicate the advent of a troublesome day…..let’s hope for the best. Meantime, here are some Pearls, for you to use as you will…..enjoy!…

If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re missing the joke.
I not only get the joke, I wrote the punchline!……or, at least wished I did…… Y’all take care out there……
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes
I just sits.
